Igneous FFGS 2005

I don't have a camera as of now, but I used the FFGS's last year in medium flex, and they are quite stiff in my opinion but an excellent addition to the skiing industry.

Performance

The Igneous FFGS is the best ski that I've ever ridden on in terms of a backcountry ski. It has smooth turns and the 104 underfoot is great for powder pretty much anywhere but the AK.

Design

Most people on NS won't like the ski because it's not twintipped and that it has no graphics, but that's the whole point of the ski. The ski itself is amazing, it doesn't have any bells and whistles. It's meant to float well and not tip dive. The skis are excellent in the matter of charging, they won't flop out on you.

Value

A bit on the pricey side as seen in the picture, but it's worth every single penny.

Characteristics

There are several different flexes on this ski that you can custom order, so I can't comment on any other flexes.
My medium flex is pretty stiff so if you like soft skis this is not for you.

Durability

This ski is bombproof, nothing will break it unless you take a chainsaw to it.
